richard c. simms

This book of satirical military comics is a humorous look at life in the military during the Korean war era.

Cartoonist Richard C. Simms entered the service in 1953 where he spent a short but delightful sixteen weeks at Fort Riley, and thereafter was sent to Korea, where he spent the rest of his Army career. He wasted no time establishing himself as a talented cartoonist, with a sharp eye for the ironical. With the termination of his contract with the Army, Simms returned to the United States to enter art school on a full-time basis. He took all of his material from everyday happenings he observed and survived while in the military and captured his perspective on paper.

Whether you're a GI or civilian, WAC or DAC, broke or sober, you'll enjoy the wit and wham of this book.
